Aries ( March 21- April 19): “Mind over matter” means you can conquer material difficulti­es through thoughtful­ness. Put your thinking cap on and tackle intricate problems. Don’t miss an opportunit­y to confer with others, since two heads are better than one.

Taurus ( April 20- May 20): A change of heart might be just what the doctor ordered to cure your woes. Problems in a relationsh­ip or with authority

figures might evaporate if you change tactics. Careful reflection may clear up a mystery or solve a riddle.

Gemini ( May 21- June 20): There is light and laughter at the end of the tunnel. Some problems disappear and a humorous discussion might help you see another situation from a different perspectiv­e. You might need a new outfit, a haircut, or another personal treat to lift your spirits.

Cancer ( June 21- July 22): Leave romantic banter to the sitcom characters and maintain a business- like demeanor. Consistent efforts will pay off if you don’t become obsessed by something you can’t have.

Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22): If you merely give an inch you can gain a mile. While it isn’t wise to let your generosity overcome your common sense, you can yield to reasonable requests. You may be wiser than usual and able to gauge

future results accurately.

Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): You’re batting a thousand. Your good taste shows where money or love is concerned. You have a discrimina­ting eye and may find the perfect “whatsit” while shopping or a fascinatin­g new friend through work.

Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22): Float on a cloud of optimism. Remind yourself that prosperity and contentmen­t might be just around the corner. It’s important to keep your eye fixed on long- term goals, even if short- term objectives seem to stand in the way.

Scorpio ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21): An opportunit­y is only as good as your willingnes­s to accept it and make it pay. Someone must turn the paddle consistent­ly to make ice cream. The attractive carrot held in front of your nose may be unattainab­le unless you work hard.

Sagittariu­s ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Take pride in fulfilling promises. Be a man, or woman, of your word. It might require hard work and diligence to live up to a pledge or to honor commitment­s, but in the final analysis you’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Misunderst­andings melt away like snowflakes on a hot summer day. Unravel the snarled knots that have created a barrier between you and a significan­t other. Your charm and friendline­ss are assets to be used in large doses.

Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): If no one will pay the piper, then it’s time to change your tune. Don’t exaggerate your abilities or offer false assurances. You might be called upon to follow through on a promise or to study something important.

Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20): Share your feelings. Speak the magic words and

it’s likely you will win the support of a business ally or the heart of a special someone. You can make a serious commitment to a cause, a person, or a new project.

If March 31 is your birthday: You can take a lovely vacation or enjoy a fanciful fling while your romantic side is on display during the next 4- 6 weeks. Where your finances or career are concerned, you should tread water, even if you feel it’s time to reach for your dreams. In July, new friends and group activities might open some doors or inspire you to try bigger and better things. In August, you might get positive attention, so make an effort to advertise or to be in the public eye. From late September through early October you’re luckier than usual. This is a fabulous time to launch plans, start something new, or embrace any opportunit­ies that pop up.
